Nine Years a Blogger with a Giveaway

I don't write on my blog as much as I used to,😦 but I do still hold it near and dear. Things have changed since Feb of 2008, but I still make quilts all the time. I sew everyday. Right now I am working on four projects that I can't show you because they are being done in secret for future reveals. I will say that I am working on two wedding quilts, one long overdue quilt for a special little boy, and a special project for my local modern fabric shop. I did complete two Sew Together Bags lately. For my sweet sisters. I know they will love them as much as I love mine. Lots of room for all your supplies. The best accessory bag ever!

This one is for KnittySister. It matches the totebag I made her last year.

This one is for QuiltySister who loves to knit too.

So, to celebrate my #9 Blogging year, I am having a giveaway for my lovely followers. The winner will receive a curated charm pack of 40 - 5" squares cut from my stash. Here are your choices:30's reproductionsBatiksKaffe FassettCotton and SteelKona SolidsLow VolumeText printsChoose the charm pack you would like to win and let me know in the comment section. Only stipulation is that you must be a follower of my blog.I will choose a winner on Saturday, March 4 .My giveaway is closed and the winner is ANJA. Congratulations, I will be in touch! And thanks to all who entered. I appreciated all the good wishes. Take care and I hope you get some time today to do something you love to do. I am going to do some free motion quilting.😊

Congrats on being in the bloggy game for 9 years! Secret sewing is hard, I feel like quilters naturally want to share their progress with friends! 😊 I'm bouncing back and forth on the charm packs, but I can't pass up Cotton + Steel! 😍

Congrats on year #9!! Just realized I am in year #9 as well, totally forgot my "blogiversary" in mid February! Who can resist a giveaway? Please throw my name in the hat for the Kaffe Fassett fabrics. Good luck to all!

Every time I see one of those sew together bags I remind myself that I need to make one! Yours are gorgeous. Congratulations on your blogaversary! Oh I would love to win part of your stash and I adore Kaffe Fasset fabrics. I too have a blogaversary coming up and have a little package of goodies ready to give away. xx

I have followed you since I learned to quilt a few years ago. I love the pictures you share from your guild and the projects. I also am going to free motion quilt after supper. I would love the Cotton and Steel or Kona charm packs.

Wow , 9 years , way to go! Love the bags , they looknow like great organizers. Hmm,should I be so lucky as to win I think I'd choose the reproductions since I have a project they would work in . Thanks Linda , I am so glad you decided to start blogging 9 years ago or I might never have gotten to know you and that would not be a good thing .

Congratulations on 9 years of blogging. I am sorry that I have not been receiving your posts for all of those years. I think it has been about 4 years that I have been enjoying your posts. If I am so fortunate as to have my name drawn I would prefer batiks. Congratulations again.

Congratulations on 9 years od blogging. I enjoy your posts and am pleased that you don't blog every day. When you blog it's enjoyable to read and see. If I win, I'd like the low volume squares. Thanks!

This means I have been reading your blog for almost half the time you have been writing it. I would choose the text prints. Once upon a time I was a writer, and even published a book, until I learned to quilt and turned my creative juices in a different direction.

Congratulations!!! Ive always admired those types of bags... might have to take the plunge and try to make one!!! Thanks for celebrating with a giveaway... I'd choose Kaffe Fassett, I don't have much of those fabrics.

The times does fly, thanks for the celebration giveaway. If I should be so lucky, I prefer the kona solids. but I will be delighted with any of the options.The bags are look like they might be good for coupons too.
